Renewal...

I set upon a path quite unknown

With Life's blessing

I walked through Her portal

fearless and valiant

like a soldier through war

Patrolling here and there

I paced into the wilderness

With each stride,

My heart perceived:

My eyes memorised every movement

Every perished beast,

ravaged huntsman

and spirit of greed

My palms felt the untouched

I made my way through dead seas,

Detecting every sliver of man's greed.

I sank in deeper

exposing antique pieces,

Sunken vessels; rusted glasses

And lockets of gilt

I felt the bitterness of the blue

How had beauty been so concealed

those who saw it

were few and far in between

The dead were once alive

yet how was it that the alien quarter

had incarnations that congested it

The serene atmosphere,

lacked every sorrow

That could possibly ever subsist

I saw the glowing coral

full in its beauty

perfect in its balance

The wondrous undergrowths

Leisurely swinging

As if nowhere to be

The spirit blushed

its tinges engulfed me further

Only making my selfish heart curious

Just like the sun renews its energy after a dark night,

A new path unravels after hasty crime,

A fresh era begins after a lengthy time,

A soul breathes life into the form of mankind

Life too revives its materials

As man turns to stone,

Stone to fire

fire to ash

ash to earth

and earth to water

She remakes all

and ends the suffering

that eats at our world

Now I recognise why she sent me here

For it was not a curse,

But a blessing indeed

As my soul fills with glee

She shows me the light, the dark and all that was left to see

and waves like a mother to her child

As I am set free.
